With the S$28 coupons, everyday go Batam also can,hehehe... but must be on weekdays and not weekends. Remember to call Horizon for reservation when using the coupons to cut back on the queuing,hehehe...
i will share my new findings on the S$37 orange ferry tickets which is also a good buy.
I think many of my friends will be interested,hehehe...take note of the expiry date. I bought this on Sept 2019 and it expires 29 Feb 2020,6 months due to expiring. And more importantly, can be use on both weekends and weekdays with all tax inclusive.
(take note the 2-way ticket expiry date)
I "bought" one,hehehe...just in case my Batam trip falls on weekends (i didnt pay for it anyway) from anytime now till next year Feb 2020.

Nowaday going to Batam is like going to anywhere within Singapore. I saw so many aunties and uncles on the queue at Harbour Bay ferry terminals. Out of 10 people i see there on my September Batam trip, about 5.5 were elderly aunties,hehehe...and with their trolley-ed luggage bag fully packed to its max.
When buying online, please be aware of scams similar to the likes of the 2 kind of coupon/ticket below :
Notice the ink in blue, those red ink could have been "rub off". So one may have a chance to buy the "already expired" coupons.
...and this type below (which is more obvious) :
Be safe, then sorry.
2 days ago, got seller/s even start giving away free coupons becos they couldnt sell it off on time and the expiry date is on 30th Sept 2019(which expires tomorrow). There's no takers as yet,hehehe...and i am not interested. If one is interested, can always go get those from that seller and then walk to Horizon Ferry counter at Harbour front, pay S$28 to them to get a Horizon open ticket that expires on 31st Oct 2019.
Meaning collect the free Horizon coupon that expires on 30th Sept 2019, go Horizon Counter in Harbour Front, pay S$28 to get an open ticket that expires on 31st Oct 2019. But next month Oct, die die need to go Batam or the open ticket/s will be forfeited.
(there was also one that give away free coupons that expires Oct 2019 too)
Coupons should not cost MORE than S$3 each (max is S$4, for noobs) or it will be pretty much not-worth-the-price/effort from my perspective. I counted in the time cost and transport cost to go collect them too. I bought mine at S$2 to S$2.50, but most of which is given to me by my uncle who now resides in Tanjong Pinang most of the time.
Walk-in to Horizonfast Counter, open ticket still retailing at S$48 nett. Business class still at S$12 nett,hehehe...
Above were some experience on my buying and selling, and my encounter in the online market place to share here.
